Many victims have not come forward for a number of reasons, including embarrassment, fear, and other completely understandable psychological reasons. The agreed upon settlement recognizes this fact and allows victims who have previously remained anonymous to come forward and share in the settlement.

This will allow them to participate in the settlement before all of the funds are claimed by other victims.
